Living with a grateful and a generous set of mind and heart is not just a one
day or weekend celebration. As my husband Jim
matured and grew as a Christian, so did these qualities of character and spirit. A story I love to tell about Jim is a
breakfast conversation the morning after we had received almost $80,00 from his
mother’s will when finalized. This was
about four years ago now. After finishing
his breakfast, he came back up to the counter dining spot with a 3 x 5 card and
a pen. He wanted to get right to work on
deciding how we were going to use some of the money, not for ourselves or what
we could buy/save.
No,
his thoughts were about who we could give money to. I replied, “Could we savor for just a moment
having such a large sum of money in our account?” Just days later, we got on to uses for the money,
but this short conversation clearly presents Jim at his saintly best, ever the
ready servant.
